Jon Faddis

On October 17, 1996, veteran and contemporary jazz greats gathered for a select soiree on the stage of New York's Carnegie Hall, saluting a guy more noted for making popular films than for making sweet music. But as any fan of Clint Eastwood, especially after he started directing 30 years ago, will attest, the award-winning star is also an inveterate jazz lover who has uniquely integrated that musical form into the scores of his films. Join Joshua Redman, Christian McBride, Flip Phillips, Charles McPherson, James Rivers, Slide Hampton, Hank Jones, Thelonious Monk Jr., the Kyle Eastwood Quartet, the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band and more for this scintillating celebration of film and music.

In 2006, jazz trumpeter Jon Faddis and critic Gary Giddins discuss the iconic Miles Davis and the critical time in his career when the score for ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS was recorded.

18 ans plus tard, Elwood Blues sort de prison, quelque peu déprimé. Jake est mort, l'orchestre s'est dispersé aux quatre vents et l'orphelinat où il avait grandi a été rasé. Dans sa détresse, il se tourne vers son ancien professeur, l'énergique Sœur Mary Stigmata, qui se risque à lui confier temporairement la garde d'un petit orphelin de 10 ans au tempérament rebelle qui se nomme Buster. Les voies du Seigneur sont impénétrables et Elwood, flanqué du petit garçon, décide de rassembler les membres épars de l'orchestre.

All-Star concert recorded at Lincoln Center in 1982 -- Featuring Max Roach, Jon Faddis, John Lewis and Milt Jackson.
